Could I put a different ECU in my car like a RSX type-s and will it work? Or any other ECU that would be better than my 01' vic compter?

umm. . I'm saying maybe, but not worth it. . You can send your ECU to jet and have it reprogrammed.

You want to reprogram your ECU so you can rev higher in park????

I would have to say jet or venom getting a new ecu would be pointless unless it is reprogrammed.. I dont know why you need a higher rpm in park either.....

no you cant. The RSX-S ECU (or any DoHC ecu) wont work on a DOHC car. It would throw too many errors because it wouldnt be able to detect all the extras of a DOHC motor. Plus, the fuel maps are different, the idle, well..EVERYTHING is different.

Black99vtec claimed to have done it, but he has mysteriously been shot into space by chrissy and other members on this site (including me).

You meant SOHC car, right? That a DOHC ecu won't work on a SOHC car.

Does anyone know if the RSX-S ecu will work on the Si? Just a shot in the dark.

why would you want to redline while in park or neutral?

anyways, get it reprogrammed according to mods you have on engine, and its already been answered, DOHC chips wont work on our SOHC engines... sorry

just send it into JET, and get them to reprogram it
